In December of 2019, I read one of the most impactful books of my life, Marie Forleo’s “Everything is Figureoutable”. It opened my eyes to the fact that we can do ANYTHING we put our mind to. This was quite an awakening to me. You mean, you can you tube just about anything and putter […]

Another Spa? I know we’re the Spa City and all, but do we need yet another? After visiting the new Sacred Spa + Wellness that just opened in August, I can assure you that this one is unlike any other I have ever visited. Sacred is a “holistic spa” dedicated to optimum health and wellness […]

Prime Storage is a Scoop Saratoga partner. It’s that time of year. When we open the windows, wake to the air a bit crisper, and hear the sound of the geese at sunrise… all reminders that fall is about to arrive. My husband refers to this time, just after the kids return to school, yet […]

And just like that, summer is gone. It seems like yesterday that the boys were celebrating the last days of school. Gearing up for beach vacations, lazy days on the lake, and visions of summer camps. And then, poof! We’re rummaging through picked over school supply aisles and practicing locker combinations. Throughout all this, I’ll […]

Style advice from a certified professional. A closet full of only pieces you wear. Customized personal shopping from the top names in retail (think Bergdorf, Saks, Nordies…) And in-person access to luxury clothing lines that feel as good as they look. I bet I have your attention. This week I chat with Saratogian Kristin Grosso, […]

It’s rare these days that we find a summer day that is not packed with adventures to Lake George, golf matches or family commitments. Last Saturday was just one of those days. Dad was away, and I was looking for some way to keep the monsters busy. As close as we are to the Saratoga […]

The Adelphi Hotel is a Scoop Saratoga partner. I was reading a book last week about the types of “positive influencers” you have in your life. They were described as 1: Pillars: Those sources of unconditional support and acceptance. 2. Bridges: These are your connectors to new people and resources. And 3: Extenders: Those quite […]

About 15 years ago, I attended my first “Old Bags” luncheon to benefit the Jockey Club Safety Net Foundation. To this day I carry that sweet little vintage Ferragamo, which I bid on ‘til the bitter end of the luncheon, clearly seeing this classic being part of my wardrobe for decades to come.  What I […]

I’ve mentioned many times that I ALWAYS enjoy learning and sharing the stories of each individual, organization or business that I “SCOOP”. But once in a while, one really tugs at my heart and makes me smile for days. Like last week, when I was invited by Heather Straughter, founder of Jakes Help from Heaven, […]

Flash back two years ago. We’re knee deep in the pandemic. I come to the realization that two people, from two VERY different parts of my life and geographic locations, appear to know each other on social media. I ask “How on earth do you two know each other?” They excitedly answer, “We both do […]

Prime Storage is a Scoop Partner Have you ever seen the movie Sideways? Even if you’re not a wine lover, it will have you rolling. We’ve all been in those situations where we’ve had to hold back our giggles while someone in our presence is taking their wine experience WAY too seriously. (BTW I’m married […]
